'One of my favorite things you can do is plan a “device-free dinner.”'
_A_ device free dinner? Why aren't all of them? These weird little "small gestures" make me feel like people have lost control of their homes.
We have a landline expressly to give out to emergency contacts. And dinner is tech free. Every night.
I think the main problem is tech has made everything _else_ easier, but parenting harder, and parents just aren't prepared to fight the battles / put in the work. A parent who is staring at Instagram when they're at the park shouldn't be surprised that their kids wants screens, too.
